Answer: The required value of c is 5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to Alessandro wrote the following quadratic equation in standard form.

We are to find the value of c in his new equation.

We know that

a quadratic equation can be written in standard form as follows :


ax^2+bx+c=0,~a\\eq 0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

So, the given equation can be written as :


-6=x^2+4x-1\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+4x-1+6=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+4x+5=0.

Comparing with the standard form (i), we find that the value of c is 5.

That is, c = 5.

Thus, the required value of c is 5.
